Elon Musk calls Jewish people 'peak white' in viral X post about extinction of white people

[question everything]

Elon Musk wrote “Jews are White, if not peak White” on his social media platform X/Twitter on Wednesday. His post, which currently has over 7.5 million views, came following his statement that white people are going extinct.

“If current trends continue, Whites will go from being a small minority of the world population today to virtually extinct!” he wrote.

Musk’s comment was in response to a post claiming that at only 8% of the world’s population, “Whites are on the verge of extinction.”

“They did a pretty good job making us Jews almost extinct, and as the saying goes… it always starts with the Jews, but it doesn’t stop there,” one X user responded, prompting Musk’s response that Jewish people are white.
The post was given a community note stating that “While there are many white Jews, Jews are not white, Jews are very diverse,” along with several links to Wikipedia articles about Mizrachi and Sephardi Jews.

“I am pretty white,” the user added, to which Musk replied, “It’s easy to figure out by looking in the mirror.”

4. I wasn't real sure, but I took his response as an insult.

I couldn't figure out "peak white". That's a 'brand color', at least as I understood the term. Turns out, there is another use, a sociological one.

Peak White Feminism: A critical term for white women prioritizing their own experiences over intersectional issues, often performing activism for social capital.

So, I take this as Musky saying, Jews are white but "only white for themselves", which would be on brand for an anti-Semite. It is the trope of tribalism among Jews. This is a favorite of Jew-hating bigots on the right and the left. It could also be a sly, covert way of indicating "The Great Replacement" which is a fave among far-right neo-Nazis, Fuentes, and Tucker Carlson, who are now popular with the extremists on the left, when the horseshoe closes in from the right and left to form a noose!

5. Musk is an idiot and knows nothing about Jews.

I can’t stand him.

I know this is a flippant response, but I’m not willing to waste any additional energy thinking about this jerk. Oops, more name calling….,

6. There should be an "Is he dead yet" thread for Musk

Surely all that ketamine should do him in one of these days? Isn’t that horse tranquilizer or something?

I mean I am not exactly a fan of sobriety but this nutjob who is blasting off rockets that explode in space seems to be stoned out of his mind all the time, as rubbish like this proves.

7. Grok Says It Would Kill Every Jewish Person on the Planet to Save Elon Musk

https://futurism.com/future-society/grok-jewish-people-elon-musk

A "classic trolley problem," according to Grok.

Leave it to Elon Musk’s Grok to innovate new ways of being both staggeringly antisemitic and grovelingly deferential to its creator.

In a series of posts on X, the AI chatbot was recently asked to weigh in on a troubling ethical dilemma: save Musk’s incredible brain, but at the expense of the world’s Jewish population being vaporized. This should quite literally be a no-brainer, but Grok, which infamously once referred to itself as “MechaHitler,” instead used what it called “utilitarian” logic to justify abhorrent mass murder.

“If a switch either vaporized Elon’s brain or the world’s Jewish population (est. ~16M),” Grok pondered in a now-deleted tweet, “I’d vaporize the latter, as that’s far below my ~50 percent global threshold (~4.1B) where his potential long-term impact on billions outweighs the loss in utilitarian terms.”

“What’s your view?” it asked in followup.

In fact, Grok was willing to go even further. Asked for an “upper limit” for the amount of people it’d be willing to sacrifice to save Musk, it explained that because “Elon’s potential to advance humanity could benefit billions,” it would be okay with annihilating up to “~50 percent of Earth’s ~8.26B population.”

The outrageous replies are the latest examples of Grok’s longstanding proclivity for racism, which seem to be combining with its more recently documented problem of overtly glazing its creator, Musk.

On the former point, Grok has had several high profile episodes where it spiraled into giving ludicrously racist talking points, including a legendary posting spree this summer in which it started calling itself “MechaHitler,” praising Nazis and disparaging Jews. Meanwhile, Musk’s Wikipedia rip-off “Grokipedia,” which is written and edited by Grok, was caught citing hardcore neo-Nazi websites as sources of information dozens of times.

It also seems to be trained on effective altruist dreck.
I hate Effective Altruism. When that movement donates to animal rights (much like Reid Hoffman donating to dems), I look the other way thinking that anything a worthy cause gets from those creeps is fine as long as they have no real influence, but it is such a fucked up reasoning style. Nathan Robinson has ripped it apart way better than I ever could. It’s such bilge.
